ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:
Landlords do not provide housing.
They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.
Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.
What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.
Having no landlords is not a viable option. There are a lot of reasons that people want or need to rent a house for a while. People who know they’re only living in an area temporarily exist in pretty large numbers.
The problem is that there’s too many people who have made it a business that have over 5 houses on companies with hundreds or more doing it. People having one or two rentals isn’t an issue at all in my book. It’s the ones who made it a million dollar business that are the issue.
